Chicago Kicks Off Craft Beer Week!!

It’s time to drink up at The 5th Annual Chicago Craft Beer Week which kicks off May 15 and runs through May 25 with nightly events at bars, restaurants and breweries in the neighborhood and across the city. It’s a chance to show off new rare brews and join up with other Chicago breweries. More than 300 venues are expected to participate in this year’s Chicago Craft Beer Week, which coincides with the American Craft Beer Week. The number of local brew houses participating doubled from 2012 to 2013 and is expected to double again this year. The theme of the week is “Chicago: A City of Neighborhoods.” With an expected 300 events around the city, the week not only gives new craft beer drinkers an introduction to the beverages, but provides connoisseurs incentive to visit Chicago’s neighborhoods in search of unique offerings.
